Irish with the consideration due

offered TO furnish the coke operators with
from $50 to 1000 men day to take
the places OF the strikers. II the strike is
not broken within week the proposition,
it is said, will be accepted. All the Off

ST. LOUIS, May 23.--In the Southern
Presbyterian Assembly this morning the
committee on organized union, cO-opera-
tive union and other relations with the
Presbyterian Church of the United States,
Mr.. SmOot, Of Texas, chairman, presented
three reports. The committee is composed
of twenty-six members, sixteen Of whom
made a majority report, nine minority
report, and one what he called minimum
minority report The majority report
recommends the appointment of COM
mittee, To be composed of five ministers,
five ruling elders and the moderator OF
the Assembly; to confer with similar COM
mite from other assemblies and consider
the whole subject, the committee to report at
the next general assembly in May next.
This committee is instructed to take and
maintain the following position: The mere
acceptance of the common standards of our
church confession of faith longer and
shorter Catechism does not in our minds
form O sufficient basis of union, but the ac-
ceptance of that peculiar Interpretation of
our standards which aflirms and empha-
sizes the purely scriptural nature of Christ's
kingdom and fOrbidS her legislation on po-
litical or civil matters is the only true
basis of union; and further, we insist that
the colored brethren within our bounds
shall be organized into separate COngrega-
tions, Presby teries aud synOds.

O'Brien's body guard in Hamilton was an
organized reality. All was well up to
this but the worst WIS to come. Another
attack was made upon O'Brien, this time
with firearms, and again there was an
other miraculous escape. This escape,
however, being accompanied by wound
in the wrist of one of OBrien's faithful
COMPANIONS. O'Brien was sitting down
after having made vigorous
snaecb in return for the
vote of thank passed and
Dennis Kilbride was on his feet engaged
in a like task. Just then O man was OBJ
served on the platform leaning over and
whispering something in O'Brien's ear.
1t was noticed that O'Brien dropped his
head rs though in dissent. The man
persisted. Half of the audience now
rose to their feet, peering over each
Others head, anxiously striving TO
catch a glimpse of what was going forward
ON the platform. The chairman tried to
auell the anxiety by asking the audience
10 hear Mr.. Eilbride, but the ,, 900 people
primed with angry feelings that
have lasted since the two success
siye attacks on O'Brien at Kingston
and Toronto were not so 50 easily quieted
down.
Mr.. O'Brien got up and left the plat
form This was in response TO the re-
uuest several times made to him, which
he had already refused. 1t was the
idea Of some oficious and meddieSome
mana plan which he had to save Mr.
O'Brien's life. 1t was the first time so
far during the tour that he did not

waiting was covered one. As they
wbipped up the horses, and faced for the

and, with the exclamation, 'Oh, my God,
I'm shotm' he fell forward on the seat.

yolyer, held the crowd at bay while
Mr. O'Brien and his friends
were making their exit from

the corridor of the hotel, a volley OF rotten
eggs was hurled at them. Chlet Mchln-
